Introduction
AI tools introduce new challenges for protecting sensitive data. Information might be accessed without the right protections in place, shared too broadly, or exposed through risky user behavior. Traditional security controls often lack the visibility or flexibility to manage these risks effectively.
Microsoft Purview includes tools that help security teams identify, evaluate, and respond to AI-related risks. Data assessments in Data Security Posture Management for AI (DSPM) for AI detect oversharing issues in SharePoint and OneDrive. Insider Risk Management policies detect risky AI activity, such as sensitive prompts or browsing to generative AI sites. Adaptive Protection uses those insights to apply different enforcement actions based on each user’s risk level.
These capabilities work together to strengthen data protection in environments where AI tools are actively used.
